Monroe College - Bronx Reviews

Monroe College is very expensive, however the experience was more than fulfilling. I completed my bachelor degree in 3 years, The dormitory was awesome, fully furnished apartments really help you to become responsible and independent. The faculty and staff were very helpful and caring. I attended both the Bronx and New Rochelle campus. My college experience was the best!

I obtained my AS from Monroe College in 2009 and 8 years later I return back to the school for my BS. The school is very economical and very transparent with tuition and fees. I love their flexible schedules, there is an opportunity for any working adult to get a degree from Monroe College. I recommend this school to anyone especially considering that the New Rochelle campus offers on-campus living and transportation. I also want to mention how much I enjoy interacting on my online classes with students from the Caribbean. Our St. Lucia campus offers many small carribean islands the opportunity to earn a degree from Monroe College. There is too many things to love about Monroe and there isn’t anything I would change about it.

My first semester there no one told me I needed field work or to work in schools on the first week. I was absent 3 times in one class because I had gotten sick to the point I lost my voice and was spitting up blood. I had the stomach flu for a month and managed to make it to school.My professor told me to only be absent for "serious" things. I live in Yonkers and their campuses are both in the Bronx and New Rochelle. I have no problem with that but they placed me in BOTH at the same time in the Autumn semester of 2015. Mind you I was still 16 at the time I graduated high school early and they expected me to understand every little thing. I wasn't expecting anything handed to me of course, so I obviously asked questions.When I asked my financial advisor what a book voucher was he laughed in my face because of my lack of knowledge and DIDN'T GIVE ME ONE. I had no books for 3 weeks because of that. My mother HAD to come into the school where THEY TREATED HER AWFULLY in the New Rochelle campus. It does not feel very homey there and professors pick and choose favourites. The most I've had was 30+ to a classroom but they're typically ~15 or less students per class.
The professor mentioned from before had also LIED that I did NOT attend any of my field work assignments and that I did NOT hand in any work at all. I had an A+ and she tried to fail me but I fought and got it to a B+. She talks to you like a child and I strongly believe she has lack of experience [she is a young professor]. Don't get me wrong I had another young professor AND she was pregnant and NEVER did anything like this one who was lying. I brought it up to my dean and she just acted like it was nothing. My dean acted like I was tired and exhausted for no reason until she realised I was commuting to BOTH campuses and mind you I'm a full time student. She said "oh no these classes are available in the Bronx campus all of them! Why didn't you ask to fix your schedule?!"
I did, I went to 3 ppl ._.
